I just got a used 55 gallon aquarium from an old friend. Its an all-glass aquarium but it has a mirror attached to the back of it. It looks so amazing and I have never seen one like it before? Is this something that someone added themselves or do they indeed sell them?
Thanks,

Joey

wrong forum, and if i glue a mirror to my 55g will it be rare? Probably, not many people do it. Post a pic, sounds weird.

I have a 125 w/ a mirror siliconed on the back of the glass. This was done by a previous owner. It has some spots that look bad (streaks & blotches), due to moisture that can't be fixed w/ out ruining the tank.

here's some pics:

you could just put mirrored window tint on the back glass..

this chick ive been "spending time with" likes my tank because she can see her self in the glass when were "hanging out".. i think the RHOM likes to watch..

i like a miror back ground but the miror will that stay good after like 2 years

The tank I just got is almost 10 years old. It has not streaks or smudges on the back. Just a complete reflection. Looks really nice. I will try to post pics.

does that not freak the fish out?

i've never stuck my head in the tank before, so i wouldn't know.

seems like it would piss off aggresive fish and scare others

i think it would make schooling fish go to the back of the tank And try to shoal with thier reflections then the cichlids and other territorial fish would have a hell of a time trying to get the other fish and beat them selves up

my p's prob just thought there were more of them, now a cichlid would be a different story. Like a red devil or something would prob get pretty excited w/ it's reflection.

Did have mirror behind my tank but the rb kept freaking out... does look good but i didn't want the rb to hurt itself

My manny certainly wouldnt like a mirrored back, he goes for his reflection on the glass already, so god knows how bad he would be if it was mirrored!

i think it makes the tank look a bit stupid no offense

HAHA

My pygos like to watch me and my girl too... The tank comes right up to the edge of my bed, and they tend to gather when we are "together" to see whats going on...

Back on topic... I thought having mirrors was a bad idea, don't they try to attack the reflections and hurt themselves.. (I heard something like that somewhere)
